Dodson ys, McAdams.--A grandfather
receiving his grandchild into his family as
a member thereof, stands towards her IN
loco PARENTS, and bis care. protection and
advantage are, in the absence OF any
special agreement, compensation for such
services as she may perform in the house
hold or for his benefit as long as she re-
mains a member of his household But a
special agreement may be shown to the
effect that she was to receive other compep-
sation. To establish auch an agreement
there must be evidence of the assent Of
both minds to it. Casual declarations by
the grandfather that s'she was good girl
and should be paid for her services" !"
shat be intended to leave her his house" /"
&c, are not alons evidence to go to the
jury to prove an agreement to pay for her
services, although they With other COM
petent FACTS might make such evidence.
When grsndchild becomes member
of her grsndfathers' household, and after
his death, sues for the value Of her ser
vices, it is error for the court merely to
instruct the jury "that the relations of
grandfather and graudchild do not raise
the presumption that the services OF the
child were aratuitous"

Hair Us. Downing.-A grant by the
owner of tenement of a part of that tene-
ment, as it is then used and enjoyed
passes to the grantee by implication all
those easements which the grantor can
convey and which are necessary for a
reasonable enjoyment of the granted pro-
perty, and were at the time of the grant
used by the owner of the entirety for the
benefit of the granted easement. Where
the terms of a grant are general and in
definite 80 that the construction is uncer-
tain and ambiguous, the acts of the parties
contemporaneous with the grant, giving a
practical construction to it, is deemed a
just exposition of the intent of the parties.
The drainage of lands should be with the
least injury to the lower land consistent
with It's rightful enjoyment On the
maxim "sic utere tue ut alienum non

in such a manner as not to injure that OF
another.

State vs.. Msssey.-Where a statutory
otfense is alleged to have been committed
and before indictment found the statute
is materially amended, the indictment
should charge the offence to have been
committed before the date of the amend
ment. it must appear on che face of the
indictment that an offence is charged,
otherwise the indictment will be quashed.
While not deciding what was the effect,
as to repeal. of chapter 66, acts 1885, in
paragraph 6, section 985 Code, yet it
would seem under section 3,766 Code, that
the original act was not repealed, and
that offences denounced by paragraph 8,

London, with the single exception,
possibly, of Rome, is the only capital
in Europe where the festivities of a
court are to be enjoyed. Berlin was
never very gay, and now that the En-
peror and Empress have become SO
very old the social elements Of court
life have become extremely primitive.
as well as formal and restricted. The
naughty aristocracy of Vienna decline
to receive at their entertainments any
foreigner below the rank Of prince,
even the attaches of the different lega-
tions having but dismal time Of it.
Since France became republic the So
cial prestige Of Paris has wholly van
ished.
Spain and Portugal are too far out
of the beaten track, and especially the
latter, and the stiff etiquette prevailing
at both courts renders them anything
but popular. Since King Humbert
ascended the throne Of Italy he and his
fair wife have done much to make
Rome brilliant and attractive social
center. But it is now an undoubted
fact that London, during the season.
has taken the place which was occu-
pied under the second empire by Paris
in the affections of society lovers on
both sides of the Atlantic.

The young scloolmistress at Trenton,
Miss Childress, is very pretty and
bright, and quite belle. A young
man from neighboring village made a
desperate effort to win her favor, but
she dislikes him very much. A few
days ago he began to circulate damag-
ing reports about the young lady. which
resulted III nice bit of scandal in the
little town. The stories finally came
to the young lady's ears. Thoroughly
enraged she borrowed Il shotgun,
mounted horse. and went in quest OF
her traducer, whom she found in his
store surrounded by large number
Of friends. Cooking both barrels Of her
shotgun. which was loaded with buck
shot. she pointed it ut his head and
said: you william! Acknowledge be-
fore these gentlemen that you have lied
about and slandered me, and that there
is no truth in anything you have said,
or will this instant blow out Your
brains" The young man. amid the
mockery of his companions, promptly
acknowledged all that was demanded oi
him, admitting that he had knowingly
>landered the young lady. who immedi-
ately left, escorted by an admirine
crowd. -Saranndh (Gd.) NeWs.

Women as Printers.

London Queen: The employment Of
women in the mechanical arts is pro-
crossing. We have much pleasure in
calling attention to the extended scheme
of operation of tha Women's Printing
Society. The directors. who include
Lady Goldsmid Mrs. Monteiiore, Miss
Agnes Zimmerman, etc, are desirous
of extending its operations and appeal
for further support. They have re-
ceiyed the highest testimony to the cN-
cellence of their work-so eminent an
authority as Mr.. Ruskin having express
sed approval of it-whle they have
been commended for their prompt eAe-
cution of orders and for their moderate
charges. That. in spite Of the disad-
vantages incident to the occupation,
women should have succeeded in
holding their own against their
more muscular competitors is 4
proof Of what may be done by them un-
der what may appear to be discourag-
ing circumstances.
In connection with the employment Of
women as compositors one fact desery-
es to be recorded, inasmuch as it re-
fleets very great honor on the body
representing the interest Of the men
who pursue that occupation. In place
of displaying any amount of class
jealousy against the women who
sought to gain their living as printers.
the London Society of Compositors
passed resolution stating that they
We're most willing to welcome women
as their colleagues. provided only that
they did not attempt to lower the scale
of remuneration by accepting work be-
low the prices paid to men. II is not
often that new compositor> in Il field Of
labor, whether men or women, are met
in so honorable or chivalric manner.
